DeLonghi La Specialista Maestro Overview
With the De’Longhi La Specialista Maestro you get a built-in grinder, portafilter holder, and automatic milk frother. Where this machine excels, however, is in the minute details.
For instance, the La Specialista Maestro features eight grinding settings and precise digital dosing that registers micro adjustments measured by two sensors. Another difference is the Specialista’s two ways of steaming: the My LatteArt System that ensures frothed milk capable of latte art, and the LatteCrema System that automatically produces deliciously dense and creamy milk foam.
In total, the Specialista offers six specialty brews drinks/beverages: espresso, coffee, americano, cappuccino, flat white, and latte.
Features and Performance
From grinding to brewing, the De’Longhi La Specialista Maestro has a feature to improve your experience. You have six speciality drinks to choose from: espresso, coffee, latte, americano, flat white, and cappuccino. Additionally, sensor grinding technology is built into the machine along with eight grind settings for you to choose from. By having these sensors, the Maestro guarantees that your desired coffee strength is accurate and consistent across any of the eight grind settings, so you can enjoy coffee at your desired strength even as you adjust the grind to suit the coffee you are using.
But perhaps most excitingly: this machine steams and froths milk with a new milk carafe option in addition to manual steaming. Meaning, you can take either a hands-on or hands-off approach to perfect lattes and cappuccinos, depending on your mood. Want to practice some latte art? Go right ahead! Need that drink now, as quick as possible? The Specialista Maestro’s got you covered.
Why You Should Get It
The De’Longhi La Specialista Maestro is the complete package. With a built-in grinder that offers eight grind settings, and dynamic pre-infusion, making any of the six drink selections is a delicious and simple procedure. With many fully automatic machines, you lose the opportunity to make milk textured for latte art. However, with the Specialista’s My LatteArt System, you get the best of both worlds. Not to mention, the machine looks chic on any countertop with a classic mix of stainless steel and black accents.
